POLICE. M sioN-HousE.—Thomas Gilfillan, who was on Wednesday , charged with having committed a rape u, on two children, was again brought up yester day. , • • • _ The mother of one of the children stated, that the prisoner was an acquaintance of her an her ' husbAnd : he had been in the habit of frequently thinktng tea -at their lodgings ;. and she had no doubt but he had made use of these opportunities to debauch the mind of her child, and of the other little girl, who was her playmate. She never .sus pected him to harbour such an unmanly design, as he had always professed the greatest friendship for her family. It appeared that the children had absconded with this 'wretch on Sunday last ; and, when discovered by their mothers, endeavoured to escape, and.ap peared desirous of continuing with the miscreant. The Loan .MAYOR, in addressing the culprit, observed, that he was an offender of the most shocking description. He appeared to have pro-, ceeoed with the utmost coolness and deliberation in attaining his diabolical putpose—pretending the, greatest friendship •for the parents,: whilst he was plotting the destruaion of their child—and well kno,A ing, no doubt, that the law could not ulti mately reach . him. Thk latter C a ,,Curus , ance he deeply regretted—for he should have found a plea sure in punishing a wretch so lost to every principle of moral rectitude, to every sentiment of manly feeling. As the fact of . violence having been used by the prisoner could not: be brought home, he was under the necessity of discharging him—a necessity which he very much regretted. The prisoner, attended by several, constables to protect him against the assaults of an infuriate mob, who awaited his liberation; was -let out at the side door of the Mansion-house: here he was met by the mothers of the children, and a number of versoni, whom their story had collected, and as , . sailed with such violence, that the constables found it necessary to place hit", • fir safety, in the Poultry Compter. IFilliani Casson was -charged by his master, an oil-mercham of the name of appin g er; with hay in4 robbed him of three bottles of sweet oil. Mr. Copp:tiger, 'suspe6ting hat the prisoner, who was employed by him as a porter, was in the habit of robbing him, stopped him as lie went out, yes terday, an,l found on the prisoner the three bottles of oil.—He was fully - committed. . , . GUILDHALL. •—•Ye 4 terday' Catherine Rooke . was charged by Samuel Brown, with having abandoned her infant child, yesterday morning, on Holborn- Mr. Brown .stated, that he saw the child yester -day mernina, on Holborn-bill, completely naked ; 4 a crow''d had gathered round it. On his inquiring to whom the infant belonged, a girl pointed to the prisoner, who was making tier retreat ; she was brougA back, and the child pn peiceiving her, im mediately ran'and caught hold of her petticoat ; she at first denied that the infant was her's but at length acknoWledged it, ,and alleged that she was ashamed - to own it becair,e it was naked. On being asked asked where she lived, s,,e referred Mr. Brown to a misera' to place " neighbourhood of Saffron-, bill ; Mr. Brown and a constable went there, ,and were intot med that tie ; risoner leid come there t h e night before, Very tunLii intoxicated, and bad . slept on .he boardS; she had never been in the house before; curing the rug t she - behaved NOth much barbarity to the infant ; she had several times burned it with her tobacco-pipe; and had also endeavoured to smother. it. 'The prisoner said that her regular dwelling , place was rn the Borough, but she refused to tell where. Tile constable who had the prisoner in custody, Wormed the sitting Magistrate (Sir W.-LkroirroN) that the child had many marks of violence on its thighs and loins ; the unnatural mother Said, that th:ise marks were occasioned by the child's having sat on a quantity of red-hot coals. The prisoner was remanded until to-morrow, to - afford an opp%triity of discovering her usual place of reidence. `John Yates was charged by Mr. Isaac Bentley, e retletnan residing in Statfoidshire, with having stoen his watch. Mr. Bentley stated, that having business in town, he h -d put up at the Angel Inn, in St. Martin's-le- Grat.d. On his rising in the morning he missed his watCh ; he inquired of the waiters, &c. whether they had -seen it, but without success; at length a gentleman who had .heard of his loss informed him, • that the prisoner,who was employed as porter at the inn, had offered a watch (or sale at a public-house in the neighbourhoOd. The description of the watch agreeing exactly with that which Mr. leiviey had los, he immediately set out with Mr, Robinson, the iandlord.of the Angel Inc, in search of the prisoner; he wa. - , apprehended at the Swan' with Two Sleeks, in Lad-lane ; and on searching hint the watch was . found in his possession. He had been asked, when the watch was, first missed, whether he had seen, it but had denied all kn9wiedge of it. 'The prisoner, who appeared intoxicated, said, that be had found the watch in the privy. He was remanded tail to-morrow, that the person to whom he exposed the watch for sale may be brought forward. UN-Lox HALL—Yesterday, John Drage was charged With steirmg a considerable sum of money, iu notes and cash, the pniperty of Mr. Robert Law son, landlord of the Ship and Mermaid public-house, Snow's Fields. The prisoner, some time since, went to the house of the prosecutor, which is a house of call for painters, and representing himself as a journeyrnan painter in great distress, who was come to town to seek employment, the landlord humanely told him he might lodge there for nothing till he got employ ;, he accordingly continued therefor sometime, when oa Friday last Mrs. Lawson saw him take something out of a glass which stood in the bar with some. mo n.V in it, and on examining o it after he was crone out, she missed a half-crown; he immediately informed COUNTRY MARKETS.

SIR—By my letter of yesterday, the Commander in Chief will. perceive that the express, under date the 9th inst, was delivered to me only on the 14th; and will account for any apparent delay in the exe-. :ention of his orders ; on the receipt of which, having no other means of making the requsite corn munication to Ite native commissioned, and EurO pean and native non=conamissioned'and privates of: the corps in garri•on at Masulipatain, I determined _immediately to 'order the whole Of 'the troopS on parade. In a short . time after the diTatc'h of that order, I had a visit from • Major Haziewood; by whom I was informed that two, officerS, deputed by the garrison, were upon the road to my 'gardens, for 'the express purpose of declaring the intention of the garrison . td pay implicit obedience to all my or ders.—ScarcelY an hour had paSsed, when Major Storey and Captain Andrews arrives at my house, and peisonally communicated to me their diposition to submit entirely to, my -authority, and that they were ready'to use . their influence with their brother officers to bring them all to one opinion ; assigning as a reason, that they were moved •to this change of conduct, from a consideration of saving an 'eflusion of blood, and preventing the alarms and calamities that might eventually reach, and weaken the pre sent efforts 'lndic arduous contest of their country. After repeating and recapi ulating sentiments to this efieta, they expressed a 'desire that I'should delay my. proceeding 10 the .fort until I received' some further intimation from - them. This, however, I was determined should in no way influence or retard the measures that I had proposed to put in' execu tion ; which determination I was more especially • guided, by private nifounation, that a considerable . body of the tat:et s of the troops were not inclined to submit, unconditionally, to the authority of Government,; therefore, without waiting for fur ther no: ice from Major Storey or Capt. Andrews, I repaired to the fort before the hour appointed, con ceiving my presence might bring their deliberations to more bAteticial result. On approaching the tort, I was met by Major Hazlewood, whose report un happily continued the intelligence that I had pri vately received, and who intimated his applehen sions that the troops could - not be it: readiness for parade at the time I had appointed. I told him the" orders had been given, and could •not be revok • ed; at all events, I was determined that I would be personally satisfied of the real state of the garri son. Having entered the fort, I expressed my desire to the officeis commanding the corps, that they might be assembled on parade with the least possible de lay ;- and a little. after eve, I found the Madras Eu ropean Regiment under arms. On presenting my self before the colours of the corps, I was received with the usual ceremonies of respe&, the -band playing " God save the King." The music having ceased, I addressed the corps, expressing the deep concern I felt on. the late unhappy events, and my earnest hopes and expeBations that one and' - all would return tc:a proper sense of their duty, and their obedience to all the orders of Government, by whose command I had direded them to assemble on parade, and that I should read a paper uncle,: that authority which I had been ordered to com municate to 'them. 1 then delivered the paper to be read, to Major Corby, who, at my desire, ,bad accompanied me to the fen, which, though he be gan to read sufficiently loud to be heard, and was ra ther in advance of lire, and I was . standing far with in the point from which such communications are usually made, the Senior Officet (Capt. Andrews), advanced a few paces, made a request, that Major Corby would approach still nearer to the corps, that he might be distinctly beard by ail the men. I think it proper to notice this circumstance, as it appeared a couviaion of the perfect reliance of the officers on the men, and I lament to say, that the result tnan rested too plainly that their confidence was not unfounded. When this paper had been read, 1 .again addressed the corps, deiiring those who were willing to return to their duty and obedience to Go vernment would recover their arms and tall out in front ; . but I am grieved- to state, that not a man moved, or indated any willin g ness to advance. I remained in my position - for four or five minutes; immediately after, in one voice extending tlitorgh the whole line, they exclahned, Our Officers Our Officers !" All again was silent ;. but, on turning to proceed to the right flank; r heard a.shout, which commenced in the left wing, of " Grievances ! grievances!"—and stepping up to the company that appeared most clamorous, and desiring to know 'what grievances they had to state, they exclairned " Our Officers, have been uejustly used—A limited period of service—Bengal allowances I" These sen tences were - running through the line, and to pre serve order, the Officers in charge moved forward, and reported the same sentiment prevailed in their respective companies. I signified that I should re port what had cotcurred, and finding that further ef forts to bring these corps to a sense of their duty would be of no avail, I dire fed the seni6r officer, to move off to , the barracks, when the same ceremonies were observed as on my first appearance on parade, and after the salute, the senior officer moved out a feW paces to the front, and said—" General Pater, I hope; you do not doubt or harbour any suspicion of the loyalty of this corps ; I do decla're to you, Sir, upon my sacred' honour, in (Kim of these colours, that there is not an officer or a man who would not freely shed the last drop of his blood in defence of his King and Country ; but we have suffered certain grievances, which we require to be redressed, and which have occasioned the present agitation through out, the army." Tnis, under some variety of expression, bit all tending tO the same purport, .was repeated by Cap tain Andrews, at the moment of my leaving his pa rade. After this corps had been wheeled into coin-, panics, they gAve three cheers, and again exclahned, " Our Officers! Our Officers !--The last drop - of blood Inr Our Officers !" I next proceeded . to the battalion, which was then' marching up 'to the parade in columns 01 companies and being wheeled, into line, the same ,ceremonies' were observed as upon my appearance before the Madras European regiment.. I then began by ex horting the native cmomissiotaed, con-commissioned did privates, to return to a due obedience of all or de:s front Government, in nearly the same expres sions I had uttered to the other corps, and after pre-• paring them fur the purpose, by giving the weld " Attention," I direded the Resolutions of Govern meat to be explained to them; which being done, I desired those who wished to take the benefit . Offered bv thoSe Resolutions to recover their arms and step. forward ; but here again I had to feel the severe mortification which 1 had 'experi , 2nced un the parade of the Madras European regiment, and am sorry to'report that there was not an individual who mov ed, or seemed inchn7d to move; to the front. Has - ing thus 'tailed in my attempts to prevail upon this corps also to return to th sir ditty, I &retied them 10 march tci the barracks, when the compliments of resped were observed as usual, buf when wheeled into open column, and . put on their march, the corps gave three shouts of " Dm, Din, Din •!" The Europea s, on hearing this, gave them a salutation of huzzas, which was returned by the' natives with the same shout of " Din !" Having done all in my power to give effeEt to the expe&ations of Government in the fort of Masuli patam, I repaired without loss of time to the parade of ,'the artillery company, at the cantonments, and though the artillery could hare 1 . 1.4 no communica tion of ,my unsuccessful efforts in the garrison,. and though I strenuously urged them to take the advan tage then offered of the clemency - of Government, 'yet here.again I found. my persuasion and the reso lotion of Government were totally unr, garded ; not a man stepped forwaid. I then asked them if they had any complaints to make; but the whole of them remained in sullen silence, and marched off apparently with a' determined resolution of support ing the troops in garrison, &c. . -, i (Sgned) •J.

On the afternoon of the 4th inst. two men he longing to the Advice whale ship, at flundee, hay ing gone in quest of a boat which. had drifted, they procured an old salmon-coble on the beach mar In vergowrie,and put to sea. They had :not sailed-lar when the bottom of the coble gave way, and she filled in deep water. Neither of the .tnen could swim ; but, catching hold of :he eppoiite sides of the boat, they floated until they were observed from the shore. A crowd of people soon as,emb'.".'d on the beach, who could render them no assistance. A ploughman attempted to•carry a rope to the, men by swimming his horse ; but, becoming terror-struck, he returned without effetaing his humane purpo,e, and could not be prevailed on again to make, the ha zardous attempt.' At, this.critical moment, Lachlan Macgregor, a young boy,servant to Daniel Macken zie at Annfield, was pissing, mounted on a blue po ny, the property dl John Ross, tenant in Blackness. 'He took the rope, and dashed into the water with his pony. When at some distance from the shore, he too grew timid, and was in the aft of turning, when a heart-rending groan from the unfortunate sufferers inspired him with new courage, and de terininedhicit to risk his 'life to save them. He succeeded in handing to them the rope. UnaCcuS+ toured to manage a Horse in the water, the boy now turned the pony too suddenly, and they both dis appeared ! For a moment the spectators seiffered the most anxious suspense for tie safety of the boy ; but the pony soon re-appeared,'and - bore'his intrepid rider• to the shore. The two men were then drawn gently from the water and saved. ' .
